HBO's new drama series "Boardwalk Empire" has continued a long tradition of the Queen of Resorts depicted on celluloid. Interestingly, however, the new gangster drama is not shot in Atlantic City, but on a set in Brooklyn.

So what was shot there? The 1946 June Haver and George Montgomery musical "Three Little Girls in Blue" (starring ) was partially filmed in Atlantic City and even featured the tune "On the Boardwalk (in Atlantic City)." Of late, the NBC drama "Outlaw" starring Jimmy Smits shot scenes at Resorts Atlantic City in the hotel's Rendezvous Tower, main lobby, valet and casino floor. The one-hour courtroom drama stars Smits as a Supreme Court Justice who resigns from the bench to start his own law firm, as a way to more directly promote the ends of justice.

But those weren't the only high profile projects to have been shot and set in the state's most storied city.

The King of Marvin Gardens (1972) Jack Nicholson, Ellen Burstyn, Bruce Dern and Scatman Crothers star in this ever-so-bleak drama. Dern lives on the Boardwalk and fronts for the mob in Atlantic City. Nicholson is his beloved brother who acts as the voice of reason -- especially since Dern has pipe dreams of opening a casino on a Hawaiian island.

Atlantic City (1980) Starring Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, another bleak view of town has croupier Sarandon starring as a woman whose dream for a better life in the gambling business is interrupted by the return of the drug-dealing husband she had left behind. Lancaster stars as the A.C. thug-with-a-heart-of-gold who becomes her savior.

Snake Eyes (1998) The conspiracy theory flick centers on corrupt Atlantic City detective Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) who finds himself smack dab in the middle of a murder conspiracy with the backdrop of an important boxing match. As with most Brian De Palma projects, it's love it or hate it. Co-stars Gary Sinese and Carla Gugino.

Ocean's Eleven (2001) While the bulk of the heist flick takes place in Las Vegas, the beginning chunk is all Atlantic City. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, an A.C. casino as never looked better on film. Does it get any better than George Clooney (as Danny Ocean) rising on the escalator in Trump Plaza? Action is also shot on the casino floor.

Duane Hopwood (2004) This underrated film stars David Schwimmer as a down-on-his-luck, divorced father works the night shift at an Atlantic City casino. When his relationship with his young daughters and ex-wife (Janeane Garofalo) is jeopardized by a run-in with the law, he struggles to get his life and family back together before it's too late.
